    Imagine firing your entire IT team and then crying ‘cyberattack’ when the servers can’t handle traffic.

        He can literally go and hire cloudflare to come in and help him fix it.

        But I’m sure he needs someone experienced enough to manage that project.

            Probably, but it wouldn’t be all that easy. It would require him to intimidate a bank or get a personal loan. He has the asset weath required, but, especially with the recent Tesla failure, he’d be hard pressed to get an honest loan from a bank for fear that he’ll run his finances into the ground.

            Cloudflare is worth 40B, he certainly doesn’t have anywhere near that much cash, his entire tesla holdings are around 100b and worth a lot less every day.

        I understand that it can be immensely scary to leave a job and if the acquisition happened a week ago I’d be more forgiving but… they’ve had enough time, H1Bs have exit clauses that, especially someone fleeing Twitter for ethical reasons, could have used to find an alternative sponsor.

        I do fucking hate H1B exploitation, but folks have had long enough at this point that the excuses runneth dry.

          I was on an H1 programme, but not for a green card. Just until the TNs were fixed.

          But these exit clauses? Never heard of 'em. We lived in abject fear of fucking up to the point of being fired, as that meant a moving truck super-fast. We were glad we had a company that paid us at par and also kept us on when it had to downsize for daring to sue IBM.

          I shudder at the people trapped at Twitter and what they must see daily.
